Chapter 43: The Variable
Chapter 43: The Variable
In the morning, a touch of fish belly white appears in the sky.
Wu Rang twisted his head, moved his neck, and then, rubbed his temples again, stood up, and quietly looked out the window, looking at Beiwu who was silent and still in the dark.
The vote was set at nine o'clock, and it was just after four o'clock.
Huang Shiming was pacing back and forth in the office, he wanted to smoke, but only the shriveled cigarette box that he had crumpled and thrown in the trash can was left, and the wine had already bottomed out.
If I had known, I would have bought an extra pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine.
Wiping the sweat from his palms, Huang Shiming only rubbed his hands a little nervously.
His current appearance is not at all like what an old man over half a hundred years old should look like, and he is not calm at all.
At the entrance of Beiwu, the guard room was dark, and the silence was terrifying, Ling Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, motionless, only the faint sound of breathing.
Suddenly, Ling Feng opened his eyes, then slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and went out with his waist bent, closing the door.
First walked out of the school gate, raised his head and looked at the Beiwu Gate plaque that had been hugged by the vicissitudes of life, smiled, and then, with slow steps, slowly walked in, he walked very slowly, as if he had never been, looked left, looked right, sometimes grinned, sometimes frowned, did not miss a flower, grass and tree......
The sky was already bright, Ling Feng came to the door of the Martial Arts Academy, wiped the sweat from his forehead, he tried his best to straighten his waist, looked at the gate of the Martial Arts Academy, touched the stone at the entrance of the Martial Arts Academy, everything, as if, was still like that.
Walking in, everything seems to have not changed, and it is still the same as it was eighteen years ago......
Isn't that great?
"Hey......"
Ling Feng continued to walk forward, walking very quietly, bent his waist, then tried to straighten up, bent again, and straightened again...... Finally, I didn't know if I couldn't walk anymore, or I couldn't straighten up, Ling Feng found a stone and sat on it.
His breath was a little bad.
......
......
"Dean Wu, it's time"
The voice of the female secretary was sweet.
"Got it"
Wu Rang's voice was a little low, sounding dry.
Tidying up his clothes and straightening his tie, this is the first time Wu Rang has worn a formal suit, and it is unspeakably uncomfortable.
But he still straightened up and made it to the conference room.
The conference room was already full of people, some were talking to each other, some were closing their eyes and contemplating, and some were looking left and right, as if they wanted to see something from other people's faces.
Wu Rang walked next to Huang Shiming and sat down, he was the vice president, of course he had to sit next to the dean.
Huang Shiming returned to his previous appearance as a child of a family, with a big back, meticulously combed, and no beard on his face, but he saw deep fatigue in his bloodshot eyes.
Huang Shiming looked around at the people in the conference room, including people from the military, people from major families in the capital, people from local governments, and people from some legal organizations in the people, and so on......
There are some familiar faces to him, and some are not very familiar, but everyone should not be underestimated, and today's success or failure is all in the hands of these people.
Now, he is really getting less and less confident, his hands behind the table are trembling slightly, and his palms are full of sweat.
"Relax, it's time, it's time to start"
Wu Rang gently pounded Huang Shiming with his elbow and said in a low voice.
"Ahem"
Huang Shiming cleared his throat.
"Everyone is quiet"
"The meeting, starting now, is honored to have you gathered here today, and I think you know the purpose of today's meeting?......
Huang Shiming talked for a while, and he gradually calmed down.
Wu Rang frowned slightly, looking at the reaction of this group of people, although he and Huang Shiming went to a lot of places and met a lot of people in order to promote this matter, and they also felt a little sure, but now, that feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger, and it makes him a little frightened.
He tried to look at the people in the room and figure out the variable.
"So, then, everyone thinks for ten minutes, and then votes"
Huang Shiming sat down, exhaled softly, and wiped the sweat from his palms. Then, turning his head to look at Wu Rang, he saw that Wu Rang also had a solemn face.
Wu Rang also seemed to be aware of Huang Shiming's gaze, turned his head, his eyes collided, and Wu Rang nodded lightly.
"Next, start voting"
"Agreed, please raise your hand"
There was a lot of noise, but no one raised their hand, and everyone looked left and right, not wanting to be the first to raise their hand.
When Wu Rang saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel irritated, he couldn't figure out why they all said it, these people were still watching, frowning, Wu Rang slowly raised his hand and stopped looking at the others.
At this point, everything is beyond his control, and during this time, he has done his best.
He can't use the coercion of his Martial King in this conference room to threaten this group of people who only promise and look ahead, right?
Seeing Wu Rang raise his hand, Huang Shiming also hurriedly raised his hand.
He saw that no one raised his hand just now, and his heart was a little cold for a moment, and he forgot to raise his hand when he lost his mind.
"Two votes"
"Three votes"
......
"Six votes"
Some people were ready to move, some people were timid, and one by one, they slowly raised their hands.
However, the number is far less than Wu Rang and Huang Shiming expected at the beginning.
Huang Shiming's face became more and more ugly, and his hands became more and more shaky.
"What's going on with these people in the area?"
"Are they pigs? don't have brains? Lao Tzu is for their good."
"Raise your hand."
......
Huang Shiming kept shouting and cursing in his heart, his face was blue and white.
Wu Rang was also uncomfortable, he suddenly hated those who were still watching and testing, but they were slow to raise their hands. Why, these people can't figure it out?
Why can't you make some sacrifices for Beiwu and Huaxia?
Haven't they ever been to the border line, haven't they ever seen a strange beast?
"Hey......"
A helpless sigh.
Wu Rang was a little depressed, he wanted to leave.
He was already holding his breath, but he had nowhere to vent.
"Is there anyone else to raise their hand?"
"Three, two, one"
"Eighteen votes of agreement"
"Okay, please put down your hand, below, please raise your hand if you object"
As soon as the words fell, the brushers had already raised five or six hands.
Huang Shiming's face was pale, his fists were clenched tightly, his eyes were terrifying, he remembered that these people were all dead in his heart, and the family behind them.
"That, it's the Bai family, that is, the Lin family......"
The few families who raised their hands at the beginning were actually in Huang Shiming's expectation, they were just a few declining families, relying on the remnants of their ancestors to support them, relying on the exemption quota, and stuffing the descendants of their own families who were not excellent, just to gild, and then support the family.
Now, if the quota is canceled, they are bound to decline quickly and disappear like dust in this huge capital.
So, they have to be against, they have to be against.
A few more opposed people raised their hands, Huang Shiming's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water.
Wu Rang also frowned, but he closed his eyes, he didn't want to see these people, these selfish people, he was afraid that he would not be able to help it if he opened his eyes.
"Seventeen ......"
Huang Shiming looked at the hand that was raised, silently recited in his heart, and then, praying, don't raise it again.
Well, it was another hand, which was particularly eye-catching, Huang Shiming wanted to go up and tore the person who raised the eighteenth hand.
After the hand was raised, there was silence in the arena again, and for a long time, there was no more raising of the hand.
"There's still a chance to ......"
Huang Shiming tried hard to comfort himself.
"Is there anything else you can object to?"
"Three, two, one"
"So, I declare ......"
"Bang"
The door to the conference room was pushed open, and all eyes were on the door.
"Who are you? Don't you know what's going on? Get out."
"Huh, no one knows us so soon?"
"Hey......"
Ling Feng sat in a wheelchair, Qi Wushu pushed him, and slowly walked to the stage.
"Teacher?"
Wu Rang let out a low sigh, his eyes fixed on the man in the wheelchair, he finally knew the variable that made his eyes beat and his heart fluttered.
He's been so busy lately that he's neglected the guy in the guard's room.
No wonder the teacher didn't speak right that day......
